Quick Wear: The Beautiful Tool Man Refuses to Be Cannon Fodder
Chapter 239: The Native Woman Being Cannon Fodder 20
After Gu Yeling came to the mansion to deliver a letter last time, the Grand Tutor found an opportunity to contact Li Tianze, the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards, and discussed the future plans. After Gu Yeling came to the mansion secretly, the Grand Tutor, Gu Yeling and Li Tianze planned together for a long time. After confirming that nothing was missed, they left.
Gu Ye Ling thought for a long time, and then went to the Rui Wang Mansion that night, and talked with Rui Wangfei for a long time, and then left satisfied. Although Rui Wang was also in contact with Shu Wang, he was timid and cautious, so he was always ambiguous about Shu Wang's solicitation, neither agreeing nor rejecting it. Although Rui Wang loved beauty, he loved his eldest son very much, so he was quite respectful to Rui Wangfei who gave birth to his eldest son.
Therefore, Gu Yeling had planned from the beginning to persuade Princess Rui directly and then let her persuade King Rui. He believed that after listening to his analysis of the situation, Princess Rui would understand what was the right thing to do.
The next day, the Imperial Tutor brought Gu Yeling, who was in disguise, directly into the palace. Due to the Imperial Tutor's special status, the Emperor was quite respectful in front of him. Hearing that the Emperor was not feeling well, the Imperial Tutor was worried about his health and went to the palace to visit him. Concubine Wu and others did not dare to stop him too much.
With the help of the Grand Tutor, Gu Yeling found time to meet with the Crown Prince and told him about his next plans one by one.
After discussing the important matters, Gu Yeling did not forget to take the emperor's pulse and check his physical condition.
After taking the pulse, Gu Yeling's face immediately became solemn. I didn't expect that after not seeing the emperor for a few days, the emperor's health condition is not optimistic. The emperor is old and his health is not as good as before. In addition, the previous medicines have indeed caused a lot of damage to the emperor's body. Now he is at the point of running out of energy.
"Is there really no hope for father's health?" Looking at Gu Yeling's solemn expression, and then at his father lying on the bed with a pale face, the prince asked in a trembling voice.
Gu Yeling shook his head upon hearing this. Seeing Gu Yeling's actions, the prince's face instantly turned pale. Every time the imperial physician came to see him, his panic-stricken look had already shown that his father's health was indeed failing, but the prince still retained a glimmer of hope. The imperial physicians in the palace were also well versed in the art of self-preservation, and would always hold back when speaking to prevent any unexpected events. Because the prince still retained a glimmer of hope. Unexpectedly...
"Crown Prince, the emperor's body can't hold on for much longer, you need to be on guard. I estimate that the King of Shu will also be taking action soon." After saying this, Gu Yeling prepared to leave with the Grand Tutor.
In order to avoid arousing the suspicion of Concubine Wu's people, Gu Yeling did not stay in the palace for a long time. He only left after confirming that there were no omissions in the plan.
Sure enough, Gu Yeling's guess was not wrong. That night, Deputy General Pan and others who were stationed in Huaining County pretending to be Shu troops received a secret letter, asking them to break camp and march towards the capital tonight. At that time, they would join the guards led by the commander of the imperial army to assist their master in his great cause.
Deputy General Pan and others took advantage of the situation and led the Gu family army, carrying the token, towards the capital.
The next morning, the emperor suddenly woke up, perhaps because of something he felt, and was helped by the eunuchs to put on his dragon robe.
"Father, your health..." The prince hurried over upon receiving the news. Looking at his father who was supported by the eunuchs and ready to go to court, he moved his lips, but was interrupted by the emperor before he could say any words of comfort.
"An'er, let's go! Your father wants to hand the throne to you personally. You have worked hard to prevent the news from leaking these days. If you don't show up now, I'm afraid my son will be burdened with some unwarranted infamy." The emperor patted the prince's hand and said in a firm tone.
"Father, I will accompany you." Seeing the determination in his father's eyes, the prince said nothing more. He just walked to the emperor, supported him, and walked towards the hall step by step.
..................
"If you have something to report, please stand up. If not, please dismiss the court." The eunuch's sharp voice pierced the court.
The ministers were silent, and some of them kept looking at the emperor. There were rumors before that the emperor had not appeared for a long time, and something must have happened. But the prince had been blocking the news, because many people speculated whether the emperor's accident was caused by the prince, otherwise why had the emperor not appeared for so long.
But the appearance of the emperor today broke those previous rumors. Although the emperor's face was not very good, his attitude towards the prince was the same as before. I guess those previous rumors were all groundless!
He glanced at the eunuch standing beside him, and the other party immediately understood.
"Retreat."
The ministers slowly walked out of the hall, and the eunuch who had just come over caught up and called out loudly: "Teacher Gao, Lord Li, Lord Wu, Lord Wang, Lord Guo, wait a minute, the emperor wants to hear something important from you."
Upon hearing this, the officials nearby slowed down their pace and looked at each other. The emperor suddenly summoned several important ministers to discuss important matters in detail at this time, which made them think more.
But before they could think about it, they suddenly heard a steady stream of footsteps. They looked in the direction of the sound and saw a large group of guards with swords gathering around them. The man in the middle of the guards...
The ministers looked in the direction of the voice and their faces turned pale. Isn't this the King of Shu? The emperor had previously ordered that the King of Shu could not enter the capital without an imperial decree.
But now he actually saw the King of Shu in the palace, and with so many guards with knives gathered behind him, it was very obvious what he wanted to do.
The ministers who thought of this were frightened and turned pale.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! No, it's bad. The King of Shu, the King of Shu is leading his troops to surround us..." Suddenly a young eunuch rushed in, tumbling and crawling. As soon as he entered the hall, he fell heavily to the ground, his face pale and speaking incoherently.
Upon hearing this, the emperor looked towards the entrance of the hall with a sharp gaze.
Sure enough, not long after, the figure of the King of Shu appeared at the door of the hall. The King of Shu was wearing a sharp armor, with a long sword at his waist, and walked in with his head held high, followed by a group of soldiers with long swords.
"Rebellious son, what do you want to do? If you put down your sword now and go back to your fiefdom, I can pretend that nothing has happened." The emperor looked at the King of Shu who was walking outside with a gloomy face and said in a cold voice.
